“Go to your grandmother who’s an invalid and make sure she has an absentee ballot,” Carson urged. “Help her fill it out. The baton is ours.”
“Freedom is not free,” Carson added. “It must be fought for.”
The event will feature numerous potential presidential candidates over three days — including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
